Foreword
The 19S2 Clarion was printed with a
thought to the future as well as to the
past. Within its covers will be found a
record in writing and photographs of in¬
dividual, organization, and class activi¬
ties which were a part of the 1951-1952
school year. Also included are drawings
which picture the staff's conception of
IJ. High in the future. The reader will
notice and be interested in following
literary predictions concerning the suc¬
cess of the undergraduate classes, as
well as this year's graduates.

In Dedication
Jhe class of 1952 wishes to dedicate this
yearbook to Mr. Theodore Almy, our sponsor, who
has patiently guided us from impulsive freshmen
to what, we nope, are wiser seniors.
Mr. Almy has constantly urged us on to new
and original accomplishments, encouraging indivi¬
duality as well as cooperation among the members
of the class. What success we have obtained has
been the product of Mr. Almy’s efforts. It is now
our task to fulfill his expectations in the
future.

In the three required years of English and
the voluntary fourth year, speaking, reading,
and writing are stressed. Students learn in one
semester to speak and write correctly, and in
the other to appreciate and enjoy literature;
classical and modern, fiction and nonfiction,
prose and poetry.
A new addition to the English department
Viis year was a course in pre-college grammar.
Ihis course was offered for the benefit of
seniors who wanted to brush up on their know-
edge of grammar before graduation and entrance
into college.

earned to speak and read the languages but
Iso to understand the customs and history oi

ing the holidays was among the many interesting
ctivities of the classes. Each group learned
'hristmas carols in the language it was study-

Future Scientists View Life's Intricacies Under a Microscope
Miss McAvoy
For aspiring chemists, physicists or doctors, U. High
holds a wealth of opportunity. Students desiring this course of
study begin as freshmen when they take general science, which
is a fundamental study of science and its principles. In this
class one receives a basis for more extensive study later. When
entering his second year at U. High, a student may enroll in an
elementary biology class. Here he learns of plants and animals
and a touch of chemistry. His junior year he may decide to
carry on with advanced biology or he may choose to take chemis¬
try, or possibly both. The chemistry class delves into the
earth’s secrets and learns of elements, formulas, and equa¬
tions, The senior year at U. High, a student may take up the
study of force and energy and the backbone of all other scien¬
ces-- physics. This is merely an average science schedule. It
is altered to fit each individual’s choice. The science depart-
at U. High offers an excellent choice of college preparatory
classes; and with wel1-equipped labs and classrooms, they do a
fine job.

What is an equation? How do you find the
median of a triangle? What do you have to know to
find the volume of a pyramid? And how can you
find the height of an object if you can't even
get near it?
All these questions could be answered quite
easily by students enrolled in mathematics
classes. The students learned these answers and
many more with the help and guidance of Mr. Rey
Mr, Brown, Miss Flagg, Mr. McCormick, Miss Nors-*
kog, Mr. Rine and Mr. Ullsvik.
?f many activ ities the math classes
engaged in this year was the decorating of a
Christmas tree by one of Miss Norskog’s classes
The tree was on the second floor of the Metcalf
building during the Christmas season Metcali

Secretaries and Executives Are
Products of Business Education
U. High students are very fortunate in that they are of¬
fered a wide variety of classes on business education. Many
students take advantage of this wonderful opportunity which is
offered them. When a student graduates from U. High and has
taken the business course, he can be sure he has a sound know¬
ledge of the business fundamentals.
The four faculty members in charge of teaching in this de¬
partment this year were Miss Jessa, Miss Nay, Miss Webb, and
Mr. Esworthy. Most of the business classes are divided into
semester courses. It is possible to take three semesters of
typing and two years of shorthand. The rest of the classes are
semester courses only. Dr. Esworthy teaches business law; Miss
Jessa teaches bookkeeping and commercial typing; Miss Nay
teaches personal typing, business arithmetic, and general busi¬
ness, and Miss Webb teaches both years of shorthand and office
practice.
Each year the Whitehouse Cup is awarded to the senior girl
who has been most outstanding in her work in the business de¬
partment. This award is something all girls majoring in busi¬
ness education strive to obtain.
The business department offers excellent preparation for
future typists, stenographers, secretaries, and businessmen.

Mr. Arden Vance who is, in his own right, a musi¬

hours of grueling practice sessions to prepare
for the Homecoming parade and the formations
which they executed between halves of the game
The orchestra has entertained at different assem¬
blies throughout the year and has proved that
practice makes perfect. The combined choruses
presented their annual Christmas program with
much success.
Under the instruction of Dr. George Conrad,
the art classes, too, have enjoyed a successful
year. Besides completing their usual task of de¬
corating the lower hall of Metcalf and painting
the windows at Christmas time, the first, second,
and third year art classes presented an interest¬
ing assembly consisting of two puppet shows, the
puppets made and manipulated by the art students
themselves.
The speech department will undoubtedly train
many of the country's future orators and drama¬
tists. Mr. G. Bradford Barber and Mr. Harlan
Shaw, together, are responsible for instructing
students in the fundamentals of good speaking and
for directing the various school plays. They,
along with the students, have presented drama and
comedy with equal ease. Many speech students have
entered contests and come away with numerous
Practical Arts Are Studied bg
Those With an Eye to the Future
Three courses taken by many U. High stu¬
dents are home economics, industrial arts, and
agriculture. Home ec, being taken by the girls,
industrial arts, which includes driver training
by both boys and girls, and agriculture by boys
only.
The home ec classes are taught by Miss
Johnson and Mrs. Bradford, Three years of home
ec are offered. During the whole course, a girl
will learn a great deal about nutrition, meal
planning, food preparation, sewing, grooming,
home nursing, etiquette, and home decorating.
This year the Home F,c III class made the fur¬
nishings for a miniature house made by one of
the industrial arts classes.
There are many classes under the heading
of industrial arts. Four of our faculty members
teach these classes, Mr. Hammond, Mr. Uonn, Mr.
Porter and Mr. Reed. Driver training, general
shop, and mechanical drawing are all taught by
Mr. Hammond. Mr. Honn teaches printing; Mr.
Porter, woodworking; and Dr. Reed, metalwork.
There are three classes under the heading
of agriculture; farm management, crops, and
animal husbandry are all taught by Mr. Benton.
The names of the classes are self-explanatory,
in most cases, as to the nature of the courses,
Mr. Benton often takes his classes on field
trips to the university farm.

Miss Shea
Miss Shea and Miss Cleary Protected the Health of the Students
Miss Shea ami Miss Cleary are two faculty
members who seem to be taken for granted by
most U. High students. They should, however, be
recognized for the work they do here at U.
High. When a student has been sick, he goes to
them to be readmitted into school. They make
sure it is all right for him to return to his
classes. If a student gets hurt, Miss Shea and
Miss Cleary are always there to help and see
that he is taken care of.Miss Shea also
teaches a course in home nursing for girls tak¬
ing home economics. The students wish to ex¬
press appreciation to them for the work they
have done this year.

The first draft of the plans for the class of 1952
was drawn up on Freshman Oay in the spring of 19148. At
that time, this year’s graduates were not a class, but
a group of individuals.
Progress toward unity was first made when the younp
freshmen met for the first time, in the fall of the
same year, for the purpose of electing their d a "
officers. Leading the freshman class, in the offi ce 01
president, was Jim Neff. The initial class project was
a closed party held in Cook Hall. This party showed
that its instigators, though lacking in experience,
were not lacking in initiative; and it promised of h*
ter things to come.
As cautious sophomores, the class of 52 under
guidance of Mr. Almy and president Paul Goetz,
U P plans for a larger project. This was to be an * 1
school party which proved, definitely, their abi ^
^ work as a team. At the end of this year came t
' sk of selecting the officers who would lead the ^
ities during the next important year. Mr. ' P
I°sed, and the students adopted, a new method o ^
nation, by petition. It proved so successful that^
adopted by this and other classes as a st
JIM AGNEFi
Chosen to lead the money-making
projects of their junior year was
Harold Frye as president. His energies,
along with those of the other members
of the class, brought forth a success¬
ful banquet and prom for the class of
1951. Another project which established
their capability was the junior class
play, ‘'Seventeenth Summer.**
September,- 1951, was a milestone in
the dreams of these students. They were
seniors, the looked-up-to leaders of U.
High. As a well co-ordinated group, led
by Jim Crowley, president; Kenny Fry,
vice-president; Kay Blakney, secretary,
and Tom Brigham, treasurer, they func¬
tioned in many activities: the first
assembly of the year, a U. S. History
trip to Pere Marquette, an all-school
party, and a successful play, ‘‘Our
Town. * *
In the spring of 1952, the seniors
were honored with a memorable banquet
and prom. Their final days were filled
with other never-to-be-forgotten
events: the junior-senior prom, the
senior trip, Baccalaureate, and finally
.Commencement.
During their four years at U. High,
this class produced many capable lead¬
ers as well as cooperative followers.
Future recollections will rightfully
arouse pride and perhaps even a little
wistfulness in the hearts of the 1952
gr adua tes .

Juniors
Wielding the pencils and rulers to construct the
blueprints for next year is the class of 1953.
The Junior class at U. High is no*different from
Junior classes of the past. They have encountered the
usual difficulties and financial scrapes. They have had
the experience of running out of candy or pop at a
crucial moment. But our Juniors haven't made only the
usual accomplishments, they've topped their year of
successes by putting on a perfectly co-ordinated ban-
quet and prom* They' ve staged an excellent class play
and sold faithfully each noon and at every game to
bolster their treasury.
Part of the credit can be given to the officers
who are held responsible for the success of the class.
Glen Adams headed the class as president with Peggy
Kring as vice-president. Judy Orendorff and Lois
Singleton shared the post of secretary and Gllie
Shultz and Joy Schaaf budgeted the treasury. Mr.
DeWeese, their sponsor, offered valuable assistance at
all times.
If our juniors can be counted on to plot the plans
for next year as ably as they've handled this import¬
ant year, U. High can look to the future with confi¬
dence in its new leaders.

Following the first year of organization, the class
of 1954 began its sophomore year by selecting Dean
Sears to the presidency. Sue Danenberger, Ann Mathis,
and Jayne Rice were elected to aid in drafting plans
for this year* s activities, They served as vice-
president, secretary, and treasurer respectively*
In the usual sophomore tradition, they presented a
successfully executed all-school party in Cook Hall
February 9. These ambitious students, with the help of
their sponsor, Mr. Hammond, hope to develop a workable
money-making scheme with which they may launch their
all-important junior year.
It is apparent that confidence can be placed in the
class of 1954 with respect to future contributions to
U. High.

Freshmen
f
And then they were freshmen! One hundred and
thirteen boys and girls from all over Normal and
Bloomington, together as one, the class of 55.
At the first class meeting late in September, the
first task was to elect officers to work with Miss
Stroud, the capable class sponsor. When the votes were
counted, John Arnold was president, Jim Miller, vice-
president, Eleanor White, secretary, and Bill
Me Mu lien, treasurer.
Next on the agenda was the planning of the closed
party with 1 ‘Getting To Know You* * as the theme. On the
night of November 30 the freshmen hardly recognized
Cook Hall for the circus tent that had been erected by
the decoration committee. Every freshman wore an un
usual hat to the party, and Verne Evans and Anita
Hayner won the prizes for the two most clever crea¬
tions.
The entertainment committee was on hand with
games, dancing, and a very talented floor show. Al
Whitehall emceed the show which consisted of pi an0
solos, vocal solos and duets, record interpretations,
and dancing of the Charleston. Later in the evening,
the refreshment committee served cokes, and all agree
that it had been a very successful party*
The aim of the freshman class in the next thr
years is success in studies, worlds of fun, an( ^
operation as a class organization.
